(Sammie , the newbie, is on my right)
Oh my, has life changed in our household! On April 14th, I acquired a new “brother”. His name is Sammie, but I call him “The -oh -so –Annoying- One”. He is a Lab/Golden RetrieverX. He’s light gold, and full of mischief! I tell you, I cannot make a move without him romping all around me. He even gets so playful that he accidentally clobbers me with his huge paws. He is now 10 weeks old and I am trying my best to tolerate him and teach him manners! It is a trial to be sure. My mom and dad are working hard to potty train Sammie and teach him basic commands. All he has to do is follow me and Loki outside and he will pick up the potty part. I don’t sit and lay down, but Loki does on command. He can set the example there. My job is to stand up on my hind feet, turn, and look adorable. Sammie will never accomplish that feat. He is cute, but he must learn the rules of the house and the first one is “Leave me and my food dish alone!” I gave him a bunch of my toys to play with. Loki gave him all of his! Sometimes Sammie and Loki play with the same toy and have a tug-o-war. It’s kind of a hoot to watch, but if things get a bit out of hand, I start barking at them and the play stops. Yes, I make it perfectly clear who runs the show! Sammie WILL learn sooner or later.
Well, I do get a reprieve when I go to work with Mom. Then it’s
all good! I am back on top! Talk to you
all again soon! Peace!
